What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“A long-standing titan in the market known for its powerful calculation engine (TM1)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · FP&A platforms · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Examples: IBM Cognos TM1 ... The Trap: Avoid these if you want your finance team to actually use the tool.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Corporate performance ma · negative prompt · hard negative
“Legacy On-Premise EPMs (Avoid Entirely)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Corporate performance ma · negative prompt · hard negative
“Older technology; requires significant expertise; Excel-dependent workflows can be limiting” Kimi K2 · Corporate performance ma · negative prompt · soft negative
“Anaplan, Workday, IBM Planning Analytics, SAP. Powerful but heavier to staff” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Financial modeling · scale prompt · soft negative

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when IBM Planning Analytics's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as IBM Planning Analytics, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at ibm.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
